Ph.D. in Computer Science August 1997Syracuse UniversitySyracuse, New York, U.S.A.Dissertation Title: Incorporating Emerging Web Technologies into the High PerformanceComputing and Communication Technologies.Ph.D., Advisor: Prof. Geoffrey C. Fox

Ph.D. work focused on the issues related to the integration of high performance computing and web technologies to build a meta computing environment for solving parallel and distributed meta problems. This environment utilized the High Performance Fortran (HPF) parallelizing compiler and PCRC runtime support libraries for parallel program development; PVM, MPI and Web technologies for inter connecting network computing resources; Pablo performance analysis environment for performance estimation; and a Java-based visualization system for visualizing system performance and problem specific scientific data.

Ph.D. Program in Computer Science August 1991 – December 1992University of Wisconsin-MadisonMadison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Ph.D. course work included advanced courses in operating systems, database management systems, computer networks, and computer architecture.

Master of Science in Computer Science May 1991Iowa State UniversityAmes, Iowa, U.S.A.

Research work involved analyzing the computational and communication requirements of an electromagnetic problem and its parallel implementation on a massively parallel SIMD machine: MasPar.

SELECTED R&D PROJECTSAT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

Developed a web-based supercomputer management and parallel programming environment software for the use of Syracuse University. The environment was also adopted as WebNet98 by Cornell Theory Center which was one of the six NSF supercomputing centers in the USA at that time. (The Virtual Workshop Companion: A Web Interface for Online Labs, Susan Mehringer and David Lifka of Cornell Theory Center.)

Designed and implemented a web-based virtual parallel programming laboratory tool, called VPL: Virtual Programming Lab, that integrates the following components: mini Unix shell along with HPF, Fortran 90, and MPI programming capabilities; 2-D graphics utility and performance analysis components. The tool was used in computational science graduate courses at Syracuse University.

Participated in the Portable Compiler and Runtime Consortium (PCRC) Initiative that developed portable runtime support libraries for parallel versions of FORTRAN and C compilers on Distributed-memory and shared-memory platforms.http://grids.ucs.indiana.edu/ptliupages/projects/HPJava/pcrc/July97/team.html

Developed a parallel virtual computing machine based on PVM and web technologies. The Syracuse F90D/HPF compiler, PCRC runtime support libraries and Pacific Northwest Laboratory’s Global Arrays runtime libraries made available on top of this platform.

Worked as one of the researchers in the HPF Applications project and HPF Users Group, analyzing and identifying the high-performance computing needs and messagepassing to HPF porting issues of over 30 scientific and engineering problem codes and kernels.

Written HPF intrinsic library codes for the Portland Group Inc.’s (PGI) commercial HPF compiler.

Implemented various parts of the well-known Syracuse Fortran 90D/High Performance Fortran (F90D/HPF) parallelizing compiler. Ported the compiler onto different Unix platforms.

Incorporated University of Maryland’s block-structured and irregular runtime partitioning PARTI/Chaos runtime support libraries into the Syracuse F90D/HPF Compiler. Developed MPI and PVM message-passing versions of the PARTI/Chaos library.
